Q:

In the following question, a sentence is given with some bold words which may contain errors. Below the sentence, a table is given with two columns in which column 'A' contains the list of bold words, and in column 'B' the suggested corrections are listed. You have to choose the best alternative among the four given options. If no correction is required against the given bold words, mark (E), i.e., "None of the above" as your answer.
A warm story of humility and forgiveness comes from the US city of Fort Smith where a Masjid not only forgave the young man who vandalised the mosque but also helped pay his fine so that he doesn't get charged to jail and his future is saved.

A) Both (1)-(5) and (4)-(8) B) (2)-(6)
C) (1)-(5) D) (4)-(8)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Both (1)-(5) and (4)-(8)

Explanation:

Scepticism refers to doubt. The incident that is discussed in the sentence shows love and the positive side of a human being. Thus 'humanity' is the appropriate word. Hence (1) should be replaced by (5). When a person is charged with a crime, a formal allegation (a statement not yet proven) of an offence is made. But the sentence says he was going to jail, which means the allegations have been
proved to be true. He has already been sentenced. Thus, (4) must be replaced by (8). Vandalised and destroyed are synonyms. Also, if the Masjid forgot about the boys, they wouldn’t have bothered to pay his fine. So, no changes in these two options. Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Q:

Demand side market failures occur when

A) supply curves do not reflect the full cost of producing a good or services B) demand curves do not reflect consumer’s full willingness to pay for goods or services
C) government imposes tax on a good or a service D) a good or service is not produced because no one demands it
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) demand curves do not reflect consumer’s full willingness to pay for goods or services

Explanation:

Market failure arises because it is not possible for the market to correctly weight cost and benefits in a situation in which some of the cost is completely unaccounted.

Demand-side market failures happen when demand curves do not reflect consumer’s full willingness to pay for goods or services.

Supply-side market failures occur when supply curves do not reflect the full cost of producing a good or services.

Q:

The ultimate hope (will force the nations) P (that the destructive nature of weapons) Q (to give up war) R (has not been fulfilled)S

The correct sequence should be

A) P S Q R B) P Q R S
C) Q P R S D) P R Q S
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Q P R S

Explanation:

Since, the sentence starts talking about the ultimate hope; it should be followed by the statement that is talking about the hope. So, only statement Q connects with the given statement. Also, in the options there is a single option with starting statement as Q. The correct formation would be, ‘The ultimate hope that the destructive nature of weapons will force the nations to give up war has not been fulfilled.’

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and click the button corresponding to it.

The first working steam­ powered vehicle was designed and most likely built by Ferdinand Verbies, a Flemish member of a Jesuit mission in China around 1672. It was a 65 cm long scale­ model toy for the Chinese Emperor, that was unable to carry a driver or a passenger. It is not known if Verbiest's model was ever built. Nicolas- Joseph Cugnot is widely credited with building the first full­ scale, self ­propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile in about 1769; he also created a steam­ powered tricycle. He constructed two steam tractors for the French Army, one of which is preserved in the French National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts. His inventions were however handicapped by problems of water supply and maintaining steam pressure. In 1801, Richard Trevithick built and demonstrated his Puffing Devil road locomotive, believed by many to be the first demonstration of a steam ­powered road vehicle. It was unable to maintain sufficient steam pressure for long periods. Sentiment against steam ­powered road vehicles led to the Locomotive Acts of 1865. In 1807 Nicephore Niepce and his brother Claude probably created the world's first internal combustion engine which they called Pyreolophore.

Cugnot built steam tractors for:

A) The Chinese Emperor B) The French Army
C) The Jesuit mission D) The French Conservatory
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) The French Army
